sportside's driven his m/t drag radials to the track 3 or 4 times. that's 300 to 400 miles already on the street. no signes of wear. like quik said, they must be aired up for DD.

how about a 28" DR for 17" rims? That would be nice for the stock rim crowd.

So did they mention any other sizes they're going to come out with? They could be the first to offer one for a 20" rim.

The rear end will break

Ford 9" wound not be too bad of a weight penalty, you could still get it to sit like stock, and made right it would bolt right up. You've also got 4-link options. Currie Enterprises made these for leafs or link for OBS trucks, I'd imagine they have blueprints for the newer ones too.

Any 28" 16's? I just might have to switch to 18's so I can run the brakes that I want to get though. Hmmmm....
